Following Canada ending evacuation efforts in Kabul, Afghanistan, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Marco Mendicino, Minister of Foreign Affairs Marc Garneau and Minister of International Development Karina Gould will provide an update regarding the situation on Friday.

Roughly 3,700 people were evacuated by Canada during its operation, though that number will be confirmed in the later days, officials said.

Canada has left the Taliban-run country five days before American soldiers are due to leave on Aug. 31, after the two-decade-long War on Terror.

In addition, two explosions in Kabul on Thursday have killed 12 members of the U.S. military, Gen. Kenneth McKenzie told reporters Thursday.

At an official update Thursday afternoon, the commander of U.S. Central Command said 15 other soldiers were injured in the attack. The troops killed were the first to die in action in Afghanistan in 18 months.
